Sugar Cookies

As I made sugar cookie dough this morning so the kids to make cookies for Santa, I decided it was past time I post my favorite sugar cookie dough recipe.

1 1/2 Cups Lard or Shortening
4 Eggs
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Milk
7 Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons Vanilla

Cream lard/shortening and eggs together. Add milk and sugar. Stir well. Add flour, salt, baking powder and vanilla all at once. Knead lightly. Refrigerate overnight. Roll out 1/8-inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes.
